I'm still driving along on the pop freeway of life. Thinking even further into the future, I definitely want to make an acoustic record. I want to try lots of different things.

Honesty has always worked for me.

I feel really blessed because of where I come from.

I'm happy, I'm in a good place, I'm looking forward to my future.

When I was 13, I asked for a guitar. And that's how I really started explaining my point of view.

You have to spend a lot to make a lot. It's not like I'm sitting on top of a pile of money.

Unfortunately, I think a lot of people are affected more by the idea of fame than the actual work ethic involved. A lot of them just want to be reality TV-type people who don't do anything.

Fame is, I think, just a disgusting by-product of what I do.

I came from a different mind-set growing up, and my mind has changed.

I can't be the candy queen forever.

I come from a very non-accepting family, but I'm very accepting.

I grew up not really having anything, so the idea that I can take care of my family and my friends now is a really cool bonus.

I just want to make it very clear that I come from very humble beginnings, and I worked for everything!

I love those documentaries where everyone is fabulous and always perfect.

I never want to be just one thing - I want to be multidimensional.

I'm on this extraordinary adventure, and if I have no one to talk to at the end of the night, I feel lonely.

If people want a role model, they can have Miley Cyrus.

My parents were strict, but it was the world I lived in. I had no idea there was a world outside.

Touring is always important to me. It's like a big IOU to my fans, because I know they are the reason I exist.

You look at someone like Beyonce singing 'Single Ladies,' when we all know she's married. Some of it is just for entertainment.
